Based on industry averages you can expect to pay between $6.39 and $168.72 for a VW distributor cap.

Your VW distributor cap is a thick piece of cup-shaped plastic that fits over the distributor rotor at the end of the distributor. It aids in transferring the spark, or voltage, from the coil to the cylinders as well. Despite being common in earlier vehicles, manual distributors are no longer seen in many current vehicles. Throughout the life of the car, the hard plastic caps, which have a few minor metal components, need to be replaced on occasion.

Simple wear and contamination are the two main causes of distributor cap failure. Contaminants, if they manage to get inside of the cap, may hinder the cap's capacity to distribute the high voltage pulses to the spark plugs. This is especially problematic if water enters a cap, as water can short the pulses to the earth immediately. It's not always the case, but some distributor caps contain gaskets or o-ring seals to keep water and other pollutants out. The distributor and cap can be cleaned, blasted out, or treated with a water displacement spray if water or other impurities do manage to get into a cap.

If your Volkswagen's distributor cap breaks or ceases working, you'll want to replace it immediately. You'll always find great pricing on Volkswagen distributor caps within our parts catalog.
